YSFE 2012 - Calorie Count Way Low? | Forums

[kbeiii]

Has anyone else experienced a problem with the new program grossly under-counting calories burned? I'm not sure what algorithm the program uses, but I never entered my weight (which is a large factor in determining calories burned) and see no way to enter or change it. While some of the programs kick my butt, today (for example) I worked out hard for 40 minutes and while my Polar HRM said I burned 640 calories (about 30 minutes with my HR in the 75-80% range), the program said I had burned 160! According to the shape center I'm burning an average of 8 calories an hour--I'm probably burning more than that typing this message!

So, has anyone else experienced this? Is there some setting (or re-setting) that I need to do to get it to be more accurate? Thanks for any help/pointers/etc.

Have you figured out the problem with the calorie counter?
